Welcome to The Better Conversations Podcast—where we believe that thriving workplace cultures are built in everyday conversations. I’m Kara List, and after years of leading teams, coaching leaders, and navigating the messiness of work and life, I’ve learned this: as leaders, the words we say, and the ways we say them, matter more than we think. Every week, I’ll give you real tools for real conversations—like how to give feedback with confidence and clarity, lead truly connected 1:1s that actually matter, run staff meetings your team doesn’t secretly hate, and all the chats in between!

When an employee refuses to help a coworker and says, “That’s not my job,” it can trigger frustration, self-doubt, or even anger. In this episode, I’ll show you how to respond—not with ego or avoidance, but with confident, clear leadership. You’ll learn the exact words to say and how to shift the conversation from pushback to partnership.

Whether you’re dealing with resistance, non-compliance, or just navigating another tough team moment, this episode will equip you with practical tools, mindset shifts, and phrases that foster connection, not control.
